sent a melTage to the two Councils, couched

vengeance against his' Sicilian majesty, and
proposing a declaration of war, not only
against ti)e king of Naples, but against the

without any farther invcfligatioiij without
enquiring even how the latter monarch could
pollibly be implicated in the aggrelfion of
